Sentence examples for behaviour of bacteria from inspiring English sources

The Hard Agar Plug (HAP) method is used to study the chemotactic behaviour of bacteria, including the fastidious microaerophile Campylobacter jejuni, an intestinal pathogen of humans.

While the relationship between CheY-P concentration and the swimming behaviour of bacteria inside attractant can be explained in a more detail manner [38], equation (10) adequately describes this behaviour.

On the other hand, these proteins might play other roles relevant to the behaviour of bacteria in their natural ecosystems, so other selective pressure might drive the evolution of this protein family.

Taken together, these characteristics suggest that the main function of these systems is likely not conferring resistance to antibiotics (used in therapy) and that they might play other roles relevant to the behaviour of bacteria in their natural ecosystems, as also pointed out by Saier and co-workers [ 9].

Work modelling the behaviour of bacteria in foods has shown that the lag phase is more difficult to predict than is the specific growth rate [ 15], mainly because of the influence in lag time of the physiological state of individual bacterial cells and, to a minor extent, of the inoculum size.

It is also possible that zero- and reduced-gravity might have unexpected effects on the behaviour of bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms, either directly or through the effect of reduced gravity on the environment, e.g. through a modified convection in gases and fluids [ 4].

The micro-devices work by recreating the tissue interfaces of human organs inside a transparent polymer "chip", so the behaviours of bacteria, drugs and human white blood cells can be easily monitored through a microscope.

The study also demonstrates that the development of the metabolising behaviour of growing bacteria over time gives distinct and sometimes reversible features that are traceable using a single-sensor electronic nose employing thermal cycling combined with software analysis.

In summary, this special issue covers a range of diverse topics related to P. acnes and disease, thus highlighting the widespread opportunistic behaviour of the bacterium in relation to infection.

Surface proteins are a key to a deeper understanding of the behaviour of Gram-positive bacteria interacting with the human gastro-intestinal tract.

It also suggests that looking at previously captured videos of bacteria behaviour could be an alternative field study method to re-reviewing slides — also noting that the iPhone 5s' slow motion capture feature allows for fast moving bacteria to be slowed down for easier study.
